A friend over at Tumblr was having financial troubles and I donated to their Kofi. As an unexpected gift she drew me a kid Sherlock with a bee plushie. So cute! If you like that kind of thing I hope you'll check it out.

The acd=holmesfest reveals are up, which means I can publicly claim the story I wrote.
